Predictably enough twitter exploded and how…

One of the most memorable reactions (and also one of the most retweeted) was Evander Holyfield’s who himself has lost an ear to a biting incident.
I guess any part of the body is up for eating.

Soon thereafter, McDonalds Uruguay offered Suárez a Big Mac if he was still hungry and thus sparked off the trend of food brands hawking their wares to Suárez ….
Hola @luis16suarez, si te quedaste con hambre vení a darle un mordisco a una BigMac ;)

Biting is only okay when you're made of cinnamon and sugar. #BanSuarez #WorldCup pic.twitter.com/SPsWYih153

Listerine was also at hand to teach what one must do after grabbing a bite...
We recommend a good swish after grabbing a bite of Italian. #WorldCup #PowerToYourMouth

Comparisons were quickly made to the shark attack film ‘Jaws’...

And there is even a video of Suárez playing the shark's part!
With the goal line technology being the other controversial event of this World Cup (apart from the biting) the comparisons between the two were inevitable…

Some fans focused on the football aspect of it and revealed a very interesting fact which tells us why his fans still love him despite the antics...
Luis Suarez has never lost a game after he's bitten someone. Just sayin.
